Shares of Glimpse Group took a sharp decline, falling by more than a third, following the company’s announcement of a strategic repositioning plan. The plan involves shifting towards running devices on cloud-based immersive software. As a result, the stock was down 37% in premarket trading, and shares are now projected to open in negative territory year-to-date.
Glimpse Group, a prominent player in the virtual-reality industry, recognizes the need to break free from the computing limitations inherent to current immersive technologies. This includes virtual-reality headsets, tablets, and phones. Embracing this need for change, the company aims to establish itself as a leading provider of spatial computing, cloud, and artificial-intelligence-driven immersive software solutions.
In pursuit of this new direction, Glimpse Group plans to realign its subsidiary companies around three core entities: BLI, QReal, and S5D. This streamlined structure is expected to generate higher-quality and recurring software revenue over time.
The decision comes as Glimpse Group anticipates transformative advancements within the industry. By embracing cloud-based immersive software solutions, the company aims to transcend existing limitations and position itself at the forefront of innovation.
